DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

To make the features and technical content of the embodiments of the present disclosure more compressible, the following describes implementations of the embodiments of the present disclosure in detail with reference to accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings are intended only for reference, and not intended to limit the embodiments of the present disclosure.

To understand the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical terms in the embodiments of the present disclosure are described in details as follows:

App: It may be a third-party software application on a smartphone or on a wireless network.

Portal: Usually, portal authentication may also be referred to as web authentication, and a portal authentication website is generally referred to as a portal site. When an unauthorized user accesses the Internet, an electronic device forcibly directs the user to a specified site, and the user may access a service in the site for free. When the user needs to use another service in the Internet, the user needs to be authenticated on the portal site, and may use an Internet resource only when authentication succeeds.

AP: It may be a wireless switch used in a wireless network, and is also a core of the wireless network.

Wireless access control (AC): It may be responsible for gathering data from different APs and accessing the Internet, and completing control functions, such as configuration and management on AP devices, authentication and management on wireless users, broadband access, and security.

ap_mac: It may be a MAC address of a router in the wireless network.

Browser: It may be a mobile Internet tool used by a user to browse Internet content on a terminal by using a wireless communications network, in which a major App is web page browsing, and many Apps, such as navigation, community, multi-media, weather, and stock market, may be integrated to provide all-round mobile Internet services for the user.

Uniform resource locator (URL): It may be a concise representation of a location of a resource that may be obtained from the Internet and an access method, and is an address of a standard resource on the Internet. Each file on the Internet has a unique URL, and information included in the URL indicates a location of the file and how the browser needs to process the file.

gateway_id: It may be a unique identifier of an AP gateway in an App background.

phone_mac: It may be a MAC address of a mobile phone.

There are many network authentication processes. In a first example of network authentication, authentication is performed by using a short message service (SMS) message for Internet access. Specifically, the user connects to a wireless fidelity (WIFI) hotspot without a password, and forcibly opens a web authentication page to browse page content. The user enters a correct phone number on the authentication page, and a mobile phone receives an SMS message sent by a network operator and including an authentication password. The user enters, on the authentication page, the authentication password provided by the network operator, and accesses the Internet by means of WIFI after authentication succeeds.

In another example of network authentication, authentication is performed by using a password for Internet access. Specifically, the user obtains a WIFI password by an inquiry. The user connects to a WIFI hotspot, and enters the WIFI password for Internet access.

In another example of network authentication, automatic authentication/one-click authentication is performed by using an application (App) for Internet access. Specifically, the user connects to a WIFI hotspot without a password, or automatically connects to a WIFI hotspot of a specified service set identifier (SSID) by using an App; and then opens the App for automatic authentication or one-click authentication, and directly accesses the Internet.

FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of an Internet access authentication method according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The method may be implemented by a computing terminal having at least one processor. As shown in FIG. 1, the Internet access authentication method includes the following operations.

Operation 101. Establish a network connection to a subnetwork, and display, on a browser when the browser is opened, a login page specified by an AP. There may be a network application icon used for Internet access on the login page.

The technical solutions in this embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to an electronic device, such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device has a local area network function, that is, a user may select a subnetwork on the electronic device, that is, a local area network or a WIFI network, and then establishes a network connection to the subnetwork. Herein, each subnetwork corresponds to a unique SSID.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the browser obtains an operation of accessing a first address, the browser sends a first address access request to the AP, and the browser receives the login page specified by the AP, the login page being corresponding to a second address.

Specifically, the user opens the browser window, and enters a first address on the browser. The first address is any web address entered by the user. The browser obtains the operation of accessing the first address. The browser sends a first address access request to the AP, and the AP returns a specified login page to the browser. The login page corresponds to a second address. The login page is a portal page. Referring to FIG. 4, there is a network application icon on the login page. The icon may be named wake up the App for Internet access, and the user may click the network application icon for one-click Internet access. Herein, the network application icon may be a touch icon, or may be a non-touch icon. When the network application icon is a touch icon, the user may implement one-click Internet access by a touch operation. When the network application icon is a non-touch icon, the user may activate the network application icon in another manner, for example, clicking using a mouse or hitting a particular function key or a key combination on a keyboard, to implement one-click Internet access. The network application icon may be implemented in various manners, and the user may implement one-click Internet access by multiple operations.

Operation 102. Obtain an operation on the network application icon, and authenticate first data by means of interaction between an App and a network server, the first data including: a gateway address, an AP address, and a device address.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the operation on the network application icon is obtained, and the AP is requested to temporarily lift a restriction. After the AP temporarily lifts the restriction successfully, the browser sends the first data to the App, so that the App obtains a multi-media page from an App server according to the first data. The App accesses the multi-media page, and sends the first data to the network server. Internet access authentication succeeds when authentication on the first data by the network server succeeds.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, when the AP is requested to temporarily lift the restriction, device information is sent to the AP by using a request message.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, after the AP temporarily lifts the restriction successfully, a temporarily lifting restriction success message sent by the AP is received. The temporarily lifting restriction success message includes the first data.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the browser receives and displays data of the multi-media page after authentication on the first data by the network server succeeds. The network server controls the AP to lift the network restriction.

Specifically, the user clicks the network application icon on the login page, and the browser sends a request message to the AP to request to temporarily lift the restriction. The request message carries device information, such as ap_mac and ip. The AP saves the device information. After the AP temporarily lifts the restriction successfully, the AP sends first data, such as gateway_id, ap_mac, and phone_mac, to the browser, to temporarily allow the electronic device to pass. The browser wakes up the App, and sends the first data, such as gateway_id, ap_mac, and phone_mac, to the App. The App requests a to-be-opened multi-media page from the App server according to data such as gateway_id. The App server returns, to the App, a URL of the multi-media page and data such as gateway_id, ap_mac, and phone_mac. The App accesses the multi-media page and transfers the data such as gateway_id, ap_mac, and phone_mac to the network server. The network server checks the data transferred by the App, and after the data is checked as correct, normally allows the electronic device to pass, referring to the following operation 103.

Operation 103. Lift a network restriction when authentication on the first data succeeds.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, after the network restriction is lifted, the electronic device exchanges network data with the AP.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, a network application icon used for Internet access is added to a specified login page, an App is woken up by clicking the touch icon, and authentication on an electronic device by a network server is implemented by means of background interaction between the App and the network server, to implement Internet access. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, user operations are simple and automated by the system; user privacy is protected; the speed for a user terminal to connect to WIFI for Internet access is greatly reduced; and App usage is increased.

In the technical solutions of this embodiment of the present disclosure, a user selects WIFI, to establish a network connection to a subnetwork. The subnetwork herein refers to a local area network, that is, a WIFI network. A login page specified by an AP is displayed in a browser when the browser window is opened. There is a network application icon used for Internet access on the login page. When the user clicks the network application icon, authentication is automatically completed by using an App, to lift a network restriction. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the user needs to only connect to WIFI and open the browser window, and the browser automatically displays the login page, that is, a portal page. Then the user clicks the network application icon on the portal page, to trigger the App to automatically undergo Internet access authentication for Internet access.

According to the technical solutions of this embodiment of the present disclosure, phone number information of the user does not need to be obtained, the user does not need to wait for an SMS password and may access the Internet by clicking the network application icon, and the user neither needs to actively inquire about a password, nor needs to manually enter a password. Therefore, no independent App having a WIFI function needs to be programmed, and therefore reduce the cost for any software or system customization
